Your dedication contributed to our success at work. Your friendship and defence of the up and comers was greatly appreciated. You were a friend and a colleague and challenged us to always do better.

You have been missed since you left and I will always remember you with a smile and a sometimes a little whistle

Hello Henrietta
I remember hiring Al to join Trench. He was less documented than I would have liked but he grew to become one of my most trusted employees. When he decided to leave us some years later (I think you moved to London ) I was very disappointed. I did tell him however if things dIdnt work out call me and sure enough he did. Hiring him back was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
He was reliable, trustworthy, dedicated and all of our sales people and representatives throughout North America grew to know him as someone you could always count on.
He was not only dedicated to his work he was dedicated to his family. In everyaspect of his life he won the trust and respect of us all.
I can only imagine the sorrow and pain you and your family are feeling but with all my heart I want to thank you for letting him be such a big part of our lives also.
We will miss him terribly.
Take care and may God give you and your family strength through this difficult time.
Allan
